I think probably not.
I'm not convinced at the eco friendly approach, except for finding ways to keep plastic out of our water.
But, unless it's converted to methane or ethane, the energy derived per metric ton of CO2 created won't be any better than petroleum.
Now, reusing plastic has some merit, absent a safe & effectively permanent means of hiding it. Like your burying idea, assuming it's foolproof.
But, making it into another low energy density (on an emissions basis) isn't helping atmospheric warming.
So, it was greatly oversold. Nice idea, not a great, world-changing one.
